Did things, and now it's awkward

[PurpleLilac2016]

Hi all,

New to the forum. Suggested to join this forum by a friend, who said mumsnet would / will give honest / mature feedback / opinions on what I am about to post.

So got a bit intimate with someone @ work. No full sexual intercourse took place, but foreplay happened. Now things are starting to get a tad awkward @ work, and I am now starting to feel a bit uncomfortable!

Has anyone ever been in such situation before? If so, how did you you overcome this?

[PurpleLilac2016]

But also if I've hidden a thread, why are people still commenting???? Isn't the whole point of hiding a thread as so people can't respond???

[RoganJosh]

It's not hidden from other people, it's for hiding threads that are annoying to you.

[PurpleLilac2016]

RoganJosh But I can't even see it in the Relationships thread?...only way im seeing this is through email notifications people have commented!

[buckingfrolicks]

I see it PurpleLilac - this thread is definitely here.


How I read the situation is you're v young, and relatively new to where you work. You're definitely very much younger than the man in question.

I suggest you try and get to know him first (no fumbling, i mean) and find out if he's single, interesting, or nice before you move on to sex.

You've hidden the thread so that it doesn't show for you. Everyone else can see it.

Posts can be removed if MNHQ think they are trolling/started by PBPs, or identifying information has been given away, but none of those fit here.

I can't even unhide it though!

Can I not have it locked, as the situation has run its course, & I want to ignore / forget about it & move on???

Please don't worry, about the thread or this guy. He's a tit God bless him, just be totally normal and get on with your stuff.

Hold your head up, you did nothing wrong.

In your shoes I'd briefly and clearly speak to him. Something along the lines of you enjoyed a night out, but hope it's not going to affect your working relationship given its always been good in the past and that you'd hate to think he felt awkward. Then make a sharp exit before stuttering conversation can begin. Politely calling him out on his odd behavior while appearing assertive, confident and not at all bothered should stand you in good stead for retaining a decent working relationship.

He sounds like a bit of an arse!

Turn off your email alerts, and you won't see it any more. It'll die down and fall off the front page.

So you "don't do drama" then...? Think this chap is trying to dodge a bullet

[Stimpack]

I agree with PP, the bloke has done nothing wrong, it sounds like the OP wants a bit of drama.

[goodnightdarthvader1]

Stimpack has it.
